As the 2nd generation in a multi-generational business, you have the advantages of experience, trust and longevity; however, along with this comes the responsibility to honor the past but adapt to the future. Our commitments and experience run deeper than the average advisors. We have had the honor of being with our clients and their families through “thick and thin”…through, births, graduations, weddings, retirements and, unfortunately, deaths as well. Long-term means something a little more to us. David graduated from Tulane University in 1990. He joined George in the business in 1994. He is a Senior Portfolio Manager and is responsible for the team’s PMP Investment Platform. David & Jayna have been married since 1993 and have 3 children Ava, Eli, and Evan. They live in Upper Arlington with lots of dogs and entertain often because David, being from New Orleans, loves to eat and cook. Jayna is a RN and splits time between the hematology/oncology floor at Nationwide Children’s and the ‘school nurse” at Greensview Elementary.
